Formula is creamy when swiped on the skin and has enough slip that it blends nicely when applied in a one swipe amount. The thing is this is a very pigmented formula and one swipe on my skin ends in clown cheeks. I can only apply a small dot of product and due to that blending isn't as easy. I've tried to mix it with a concealer and it was still too much, so I don't find this formula easy to work with, but when done properly it has nice results. Despite the small amount, it blends into the skin with diffused edges.

This can hold on surprisingly well considering it's a liquid formula. I wore Primark blush and Rare Beauty one side by side, one of each cheek and at the end of the day I found the Primark side looked more intense. Both still looked good.

Packaging is hexagonal with the rose gold cap. The doe foot applicator is large and holds a lot of product.

I'm a fan of the original CC, which they don't have in a light enough shade for me, but this new line of CCs has a pale shade that matches me well. Formula is unlike the original, like a liquid foundation and feels lighter, less heavy-moisturiser-like. Coverage is light-medium, it's easy to build up and it has a glowy finish. If you're a fan of the original CC, you may be disappointed at lower level of coverage and the fact it doesn't feel like a traditional CC/BB, but just like the original, this is a great formula for dry skin and it has quite a bit of glow. It suits my dry skin at the moment. It features several skin care ingredients, though less than the original and here the focus is on niacinamide, as it's meant to be a brightening formula. The SPF is 40 compared to the 50 of the original. It performs poorly on spots as it slides off quickly without setting it with a powder, so I have a feeling this formula doesn't work well on oily skin. It also doesn't photograph well, but in person it looks fresh and it doesn't settle much into my smile lines. Fair Porcelain is similar in depth to Revlon's Colorstay 110 Ivory and doesn't have an intense undertone, which is nice to see.

Missha's original Perfect Cover version is quite popular and they launched this RX version last year. I had their Signature BB in the past, which I originally wanted to repurchase, but I liked the look of this one more. I love the ingredients - it's makeup with skin care plus a high SPF, so a real BB. It has arbutin, niacinamide (these are before fragrance), adenosine, rosehip oil, jojoba oil, ceramides, hyaluronic acid, peptides, collagen, amino acids and several extracts. I had Signature BB in shade #13, which is one of the lightest shades I ever owned, but it has a greyish tone to it, while the new #17 is an updated version of the shade with a beige tone, so neutral and it fits me perfectly. Formula is light, very easy to apply-and-blend (I use a sponge), it just melts into the skin and looks so good. It reminds a lot of Bourjois Healthy Mix foundation, in a sense that it doesn't look like makeup and that's exactly what I want from a foundation/BB/CC. It has medium, medium-full coverage and can be layered easily.  Finish varies on me, I don’t know why, but on some days it becomes glowy and on most it’s satin (without a powder). I think on oily skin a powder will be a must and it may in general be too glowy, but I can’t say for sure, just that it’s much less greasy feeling than the otherwise lighter Signature version (that one is lighter, but sets very slowly). It lasts well on my skin and doesn’t move around. I like that this one doesn’t make me feel old, as by now so many foundation slip into my smile lines that aren’t that obvious without makeup and this one tends to behave well on most days. I like this one a lot, it has everything I want: a fresh-looking natural formula, shade that fits me, SPF and great ingredients.

Currently it's the powder from this line that has all the glory, but there is a hype about this too, or at least it was. For me it was a before/after picture that convinced me to buy it, as I saw how well it blurred pores and it didn't look obvious. It's a matte medium-full coverage foundation that is very light, similar to Catrice's HD Liquid Coverage foundation, though a touch creamier at application. The latter is complication-free, formula blends into the skin well at the edges and doesn't look obvious at first. Pores look somewhat blurred and for a while it has a natural, slightly glowy finish on the skin, but it sets in the next minutes to a matte one. At that point it becomes more obvious on my skin because it's dry. Since it's so matte, I feel it's an aging formula on me, as kind makes me look dehydrated later in the day, especially when it gets into my lines, so I need to be careful and check during the day to blend it out again on that area, but otherwise how it wears and how it looks outside of those problematic areas, it's a nice one, as it fades evenly and lasts a long time. My skin stays matte all day with this one, though my skin is not very oily, as only my forehead usually get shiny, but not with this one. I got the lightest shade on Notino, but several lighter exist in the USA. It's a shade too dark for me and like L'Oreal foundation often are, it leans to orange. It's not a horrible match, but at times it can look a bit off. It's a nice formula, just not for my skin type. This is for someone with oily-combination skin.
